background and objectives: soybean (glycine max l.) is the most important oil crop having the largest area under cultivation in the world. every year, water stress causes great damages on crops in the world, particularly in iran with arid and semi-arid climate so application of materials such as zeolite in soil can reduce the adverse effects of water stress. however, the effect of zeolite in in...

Background & Aim: The genus Satureja belonging to the family of lamiaceae and consists of over 235 different species throughout the world. Fourteen species grow naturally in IRAN of which eleven species are endemic. Different species of Satureja are used in food, Healthy, cosmetic and medical industry. This reseach has been carried due to selection and introduction of...

The experiment was carried out on 160 commercial Pekin ducks, strain P55. At the day of hatching birds were sexed, marked individually, weighed and divided randomly into four equal groups (four sup-groups, each). From Day 1 to Day 21 all birds received the same commercial feed, while from 4th to 8th week of rearing were fed in the following feeding groups: control, fed with commercial feed and ...

The effect of mycorrhiza fungi was studied on growth and yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in Fereidoonshahr, Esfahan, Iran during 2013 growing season. The experiment treatments were arranged in a factorial design based on a complete randomized block design with three replications. Four phosphorus fertilizer levels of 25%, 50% 75% and 100% P recommended with two levels of Mycorrhiza: with ...

The objective of this study was to assess the association of polymorphisms in κ-cn, β-lg, β-lg 5′ flanking region, CSN1S2, and IGFBP-3 genes with milk production traits and mastitis-related traits in Chinese Holstein. Traits analyzed were 305 day standard milk yield, protein percentage, fat percentage, the ratio of fat percentage and protein percentage, pre-somatic cell count, somatic cell coun...

Carcass data from one side of 610 steers born from 1988 to 1990 in Cycle IV of the Germ Plasm Evaluation research program were analyzed to develop means for carcass traits and retail product percentages at two fat trim levels (.76 and .00 cm) by yield grade categories. Weights of subcutaneous (s.c.) fat and intermuscular (i.e.m.) fat were recorded separately at each trim level. Quadratic regres...

1. d-Glucuronolactone was converted into d-glucaro-(1-->4)-lactone, a beta-glucuronidase inhibitor, probably via the intermediate d-glucaro-(1-->4)-(6-->3)-dilactone, by a dehydrogenase in human-liver extracts. 2. Similar experiments with mouse-liver extracts appeared to yield only d-glucaric acid or a non-inhibitory lactone. 3. A strong beta-glucuronidase inhibitor was present in mouse liver a...

Canarium ovatum oil Engl. (pili nut oil) was extracted by using cold press method and then the physico-chemical properties of the oil samples, roasted pili nut oil (RPNO) and unroasted pili nut oil (UPNO) such as iodine value (IV), peroxide value (PV), acid value (% FFA), solid fat content (SFC), fatty acid composition and triacylglycerol (TAG) composition were determined. The percentage of oil...
